They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... ’s (ISIS) jihadists on a Kurdish-American airbase near Kirkuk city in northern Iraq, officials reported on Monday. According to the Peshmerga Ministry, five ISIS jacket wallahs tried to infiltrate into the Kiwan Airbase west of Kirkuk. "Two of them detonated their boom belts near the main gate of the Kiwan Airbase after failing to break into the base," a Peshmerga officer told ARA News on Monday. At least two Peshmerga guards bit the dust and six others were maimed in the kaboom. The source confirmed that three other suicide bombers were killed by Peshmerga fire before reaching their target. "The strict security measures by the Peshmerga and allied US-led coalition’s forces prevented these Death Eaters from infiltrating into the base," the Kurdish official told ARA News, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... Kiwan Airbase is a main station for the US-led coalition and Kurdish forces in their fight against ISIS snuffies in northern Iraq. |
